Patent EP-1138074-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RUBIN MARK E
IPC: H01L21/8238
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: In the fabrication of a 0.10 micron CMOS integrated circuit (IC), a high-energy plasma etch is used to pattern a polysilicon layer (25) and an underlying gate oxide layer (23) to define gate structures. A thermal oxide step (S2) anneals silicon exposed and damaged by this etch. Instead of using this thermal oxide as a blocking layer for a source/drain extension implant, it is removed (S3) so as to expose the silicon surfaces of the source/drain regions. A TEOS deposition (S4) results in a carbon-bearing silicon dioxide layer (51) in contact with the surfaces of the crystalline source/drain regions. A boron PMOS source/drain extension implant (S5) is performed through this carbon-bearing blocking layer. Subsequent steps (S6-S9) result in the formation of sidewall spacers (71), heavily doped deep source/drain sections (91, 93), submetal dielectric (81), an intermetal dielectric interconnect structure, and passivation. The relatively high interstitial recombination rate of the carbon-bearing blocking layer attracts a flow of interstitial silicon. This flow draws some of the boron extension implant with it - effectively limiting the depth and lateral extension (under the gate) of the boron. This, in turn, helps limit the short-channel effect, and yields a more reliable 0.1 micron PMOS transistor.

Abstract: A method for immobilizing substances by formation of
plasma-polymerized films, after the arrangement of the substances
to be immobilized on the surface of a support, and the immobilized
substances according to the method are provided. The immobilized
substances are retained with use of plasma-polymerized films, thereby
damage to the immobilized substances is minimized, and the liberation
of the substances after the immobilization will hardly occur. They
can be further applied for indirect immobilization of biotinylated
polynucleotides, because binding activities of the substances are
kept on the surface. In addition, proteins having binding activities
such as antibodies can be immobilized to be used for the detection
of ligands.

Abstract: A method of creating an image 4 obtained from say a camera 1 to obtain
a substantially linear representation of the brightness of the image includes, for
each of a set of pixels ( x, y ) in a two dimensional array, calculating, in a computer
3, an estimate of the true image intensity ( i xy   ) as a weighted average of n
samples of the apparent image intensity ( v n,xy   ). This is calculated as:
 
where  v n,xy    is the apparent intensity measured, T n  is the exposure time, K is the
gain of the system, C is an offset and  w n,xy    is a weighting factor which is defined
to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio and discard insignificant, that is saturated
or near zero, values. Thereafter each of the values   is saved together with
other data representing the image 4, before the image is output to a display 5 or

Abstract: Method for utilizing halftoning structures (1704) to manipulate the relative
magnitudes of diffraction orders to ultimately construct the desired projected-image. At the
resolution limit of the mask maker, this is especially useful for converting strongly shifted,
no-0 th -diffraction-order, equal-line-and-space chromeless phase edges to weak phase-shifters
that have some 0 th  order. Halftoning creates an imbalance in the electric field between the
shifted regions, and therefore results in the introduction of the 0 th  diffraction order.
